Advantages of Digital Printing | Advantages of Screen Printing |
1 Freedom of color selection - You can print up to 1.6 million colors in one pass, without the cost of producing a single screen. 2 Cost effective short-run production - Without having to prepare screens, your set-up costs are minimized, so you can produce small jobs and make money. 3 High customization - You can easily produce individualized designs with a few strokes on your keyboard. 4 Best quality of output - With high-resolution, you can produce images with much greater quality. Registration is always perfect, because all the printing is done in one pass. 5 Easy color management and repeatability - With the advanced features of the Makki RIP, you can easily generate and reproduce the colors your customers ask for. 6 Easy storage and retrieval of print jobs - Since the prints are kept in digital format, you no longer need to store a large number of screens. 7 Low cost and quick sample production - Even when dealing with very large jobs, you can prepare your sample proofs in minutes and at very low cost. 8 Minimum waste from production defects - Digital printing is highly repeatable and, since there is no human intervention, it eliminates operator error and allows for corrections at any time during the production cycle, without the cost of wasted screens. 9 No need to store screens - Files can be stored electronically and, since color separation screens are not required in digital printing, you save on screen costs and storage space. 10 Easy production re-runs - Digital files are easily stored and retrieved, you are guaranteed perfect re-runs, and since no screens are required, you don't have to worry about screen degradation. |
1 Application of special effects Gold and silver inks, glues and even glitter can be applied. Materials that would normally clog the nozzles of a digital printer can pass through open-mesh screens without problems. 2 Application of discharge materials/White bases - (corrosion agents) These are used to allow digital printing on dark and black t-shirts and garments. 3 Printing white on color - This technique provides a striking contrast to the conventional color-on-white t-shirt. |
